a frequent name in the family. " Roger de H. succeeded his father

248 NOTES ON THE TEXT
p. 106. (./) Kneesivorth is now a hamlet of Bassingbourne,
and the " capella " has disappeared.
(A) Shingay was originally the property of Roger, Earl of
Arundel and Shrewsbury. In 1140 his daughter Sibylla de Reynes
founded a Preceptory of Knights Hospitallers there, to whom she
gave the manor (Lysons, Camhs. ) : the appropriation therefore
probably dates from about 1140. The chapel of the Preceptory
was used as the church of the parish (Evelyn White, p. 156), but
becoming ruinous, it was destroyed in 1820, and a new church has
since been built and annexed to Wendy. Unless this original entry
is incorrect or was made aftei' the suppression of the Templars,
Mr White would seem to be mistaken in saying that the Hospitallers
took it over from the Templars in 1312 : see Wendy below.
p. 107. (/) Will. Kydman exchanged Shingay for Tadlow in
1379, and in 1385 exchanged again to Idelstre in dio. of Line.
(Bp's Reg.). "Thos. K." of Shingay occurs in 1328 (Bp's Reg.).
p. 108. (a) Wendeye passed from the Templars to the Hospi-
tallers in 1312. One of the three manors at W. had been given to
the Knights Templars by Sir Robert d'Engayne in or before the
reign of Edw. II (Lysons).
p. 109. Robert vie. " Robert de Smethfield " was vicar of W.
in 1308 (Land Revenue records).
(6) templum d\o7nini\ What this was does not appear, but it
naturally connects itself with the Templars to which the church
once belonged and with the other strange expression velum templi
which so puzzles one in these inventories. See Excursus F, p. 302.

sented to Whaddou in Feb. 1344 by Earl of Warwick : mentioned as

occurs at W. in 1349 and 1368 {Camhs. Fines, pp. 112 and 124).

Hervey (1109-1133) for the hostelry (Bentham, op. cit., pp. 128

See Sufolk Fines, p. 244 (1373).

"Walt, de Blakhulmsle" is called late vie. : he left a rent of 12(/.
